Takahashi Ai to Star in Drama
Morning Musume leader Takahashi Ai is set to star in the upcoming drama, Q.E.D. 証明終了 (Q.E.D. – Shoumei Shuuryou), (based on the manga of the same name) as the female lead. The drama is set to air on NHK as part of the Winter 2009 lineup, what’s more it won’t be on at some obscure time – this is primetime!
Also appearing in the drama is Ishiguro Ken and Nakamura Aoi, both quite famous in the drama world, especially Ishiguro.

Hello! Project soloist Abe Natsumi will release a best-of album on 2008-12-10. The tracklist is currently unknown though I imagine all of her current singles will be included (excluding the one release a week earlier I assume) and a DVD is also included.
Today’s Releases
2008-09-24
- Morning Musume – Pepper Keibu (37th Single) (Limited A with DVD) (Limited B with Photobook)
- Ongaku Gatas – Come Together (3rd Single V)
- Matsuura Aya – Matsuura Aya Concert Tour 2008 Haru “AYA The Witch” (Concert DVD)
Morning Musume release their much anticipated 37th single today, it ranked at #4 in the Daily Charts which isn’t bad considering it’s up against the likes of Mr.Children and Ayaka x Kokuburu, I fear it will rank outside the Top-5 but let’s wait and see.
For those of you who are interested in sales and the likes, Ongaku Gatas latest singles has managed to outsell their last single by a few thousand copies which is always reassuring.
